- `bitstring` started depending on `bitarray` in version 4.1 [0]
- that would mean one additional dependency for us (from yet another maintainer), which is not even pure python
- we only use bitstring for bolt11-parsing
- hence this PR rewrites the bolt11-parsing and removes `bitstring` as dependency
- note: I benchmarked lndecode using [1], and the new code performs better,
taking around 80% time needed for old code (when using bitstring 3.1.9, pure python).
Though the variance is quite large in both cases.

- Previously we used feature bit 50/51 for trampoline.
The spec subsequently defined fbit 50/51 as option_zeroconf, which
requires fbit 46/47 (option_scid_alias) to also be set.
We moved the non-standard trampoline fbit to a different int.
However, old wallets might have old invoices saved that set fbit 50/51
for trampoline, and those would not have the dependent bit set.
Invoices are parsed at wallet-open, so if the parser ran these checks,
those wallets could not be opened.
- note: we could potentially also run lnaddr.validate_and_compare_features
when saving new invoices into the wallet but this is not done here
We have supported sending to any witness version since Electrum 3.0, using
addresses as specified in BIP-0173 (bech32 encoding).
BIP-0350 makes a breaking change in address encoding, and recommends using
(and using only) a new encoding (bech32m) for sending to witness version 1
and later. The address encoding for currently in use witness v0 addresses
remains the same, as in BIP-0173; following the BIP-0350 spec.

Previously we failed to decode min_final_cltv_expiry properly if the highest bit was 1:
in practice, we could not pay invoices that had a value in [16-31] or [512-1023].
Many invoices use a value around 144, so this was simply unnoticed.
also update default value to follow BOLT change:

The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.
